Leyton Orient fans have hailed Paul Smyth as the 'Messi of League Two' after the former Linfield man scored another stunning goal on Saturday.
Smyth has been a revelation this season, bagging an impressive nine goals in 20 league appearances.
The Northern Ireland winger showcased his class at the weekend with a superb goal in the 2-0 win over Sutton United.

Smyth picked up possession on the edge of the box before cutting onto his right foot and dispatching a rocket of a shot into the top corner.
The goal was shared by the official Sky Bet League Two Twitter page who said: "Paul Smyth is quite good at scoring goals, isn't he?"
Smyth's performances - and goals - have helped lift Leyton Orient to the top of the League Two table. They are currently seven points clear of nearest rivals Stevenage.
The 25-year-old has really settled into life at the Matchroom Stadium since joining Orient in the summer of 2021.
He has also become a firm fans' favourite, with many preferring to play down their star winger's displays so they don't lose him.
One fan even described Smyth as the 'Messi of League Two', adding: "We love him.. Do not want to see him go.. Really Luv this man He is the Messi of Lge 2 and 1, we all see how brilliant he is every week.. But the man deserves a chance at a Championship Club."
Another added: "Please - don’t tell everyone - he is our little Roy of the Rovers!"
Notorious D.O.U.G said: "No such thing as tap ins for @paul_ps17 though it’s no real surprise the quality he’s showing."
Another fan said: "A gentleman, a scholar and an acrobat."
Ryan described Smyth as "Our little magician."
Another fan joked: "Please stop advertising his skills - us #lofc fans are fully aware and we don't want anyone else knowing."
